web app and gbean in the same file

[Clayton Hicklin <ch...@mutiger.homeip.net>]

Is there any way I can package a webapp ("WAR") and a gbean in the same 
jar file and deploy both simultaneously?  This would really help in 
terms of development as I could just create one Eclipse project with 
everything I need in it.  Can I just add the appropriate geronimo 
deployment descriptors to the jar (geronimo-web.xml, 
geronimo-service.xml) and geronimo will "rip it apart" correctly?  
Thanks in advance!!

It ought to be there, but it might be hard to spot. I think it will  
only be found under all mbeans/geronimo and it's object name will be  
similar to the object name of the web module (same number of name  
components anyway).  I just checked and some gbeans deployed in this  
way with the console show up the jmx viewer.  It did take me a few  
minutes to find them.

Okay, thanks, I got that working. However, it appears the gbean and the 
webapp have to be started and stopped in tandem. This makes sense and 
I'm assuming this is because they are technically part of the same 
application. I can't seem to find the gbean in the list of gbeans in the 
JMX viewer to run doStart() and doStop() against it. Is there any way to 
start and stop the gbean separately from the webapp when they're 
packaged this way?

you need a geronimo-web plan, but you should put the gbean  
definitions at the end of it rather than in a separate plan.
